* Some functions will need versions for _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 / _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE (e.g. tmpfile, fopen, freopen have such versions, so the _s variants of those functions should also have such versions).
Also, don't provide _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32 versions. Just support _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64, and make it a compile- or link-time error to try to use Annex K with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32.
Regardless of whether one thinks Annex K is a good idea, its stated goal is more-reliable software. Requiring it to support _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=32 (which is deliberately *unreliable*) would be counterproductive make-work.
